Polyelectrolyte Complex/MMT Hybrid for SPI/WE Adhesives with Balanced Flame Retardancy and Shear Strength
Soybean protein isolate (SPI) adhesives are eco-friendly but suffer from poor water resistance and bonding strength. Waterborne epoxy (WE) can effectively improve these properties; however, WE-modified SPI adhesives can hardly satisfy the growing stringent flame-retardant demands for plywood. Herein, we report a compos...
